Janna top!?

FederationFurry··2 votes·1,508 views

I recently gave up on League, this meta just seems so toxic and kill focused that it killed my enjoyment of the game. Just for a joke, I decided to take Janna top one game and got flamed by my teammates for choosing that. But I was surprised to find that it actually works.

Janna has enough kite power to keep most toplaners away from you and you can hold them in lane for a pretty long time. Also, since I play rather passive/defensively in general, my opponent would normally get frustrated and AFK because most League players are so obsessed with kills. Janna has the range to be annoying and the speed to dodge a lot of skillshots.

The only drawback to this is that I'm not the one carrying games, which is fine for me because I don't really want/need to. She can be a powerful pick to keep toplaners in lane, especially if you use their psychology and emotionally manipulate them into chasing you.

It may be pretty dirty but it works for me. Are there any other unconventional top picks to break the stale top lane meta?

((Feel free to check out my profile, its worked pretty consistently. May just be a "low elo thing"))

I urge people to try it, you may think its stupid but its a hell of a lot of fun, especially if you are a support main and understand her kit and potential.

I like the idea of it but how do you deal with her lack of waveclear?

Her Q does help wave clear a bit...power her AP and she can wave clear pretty well if the minions come in a line like they do...but early on its kinda like bieng a Veigar...let the minions do most of the work and last hit them XD
